Despite being diagnosed with both lung and prostate cancer, I consider myself very fortunate because I have been healthy throughout my life. I had the normal childhood diseases and have fond memories of mom nursing me when I stayed home from school with a cold. But, before the cancer, I have had no major medical problems as an adult. I contracted Lyme disease twice and it was misdiagnosed the second time so it remains with me, but it causes no problems.

I assume that I have been blessed with a strong immune system, and I am determined to do all within my power to support it and keep it strong.

Most encouraging has been the seeming reversal of aging ailments since I have been on the alternative treatment regimen for the cancers. Prior to starting the regimen I was noticing occasional arthritis-type pains, increasing problems with balance and forgetfulness, and a decline in overall energy. All of that has disappeared – I truly feel, and act as fit as I did at 59 (e.g., I stop at 21 marine style push-ups during my exercise routine).

I obviously know not what the future holds for me and my body, but it worries me not – I’m having too much fun living.
